The result is “One in Three,” a play based on three women's jour nals of their experience with rape. Sherry Hostetter, director of the play and assistant director of the rape crisis center, said she has nev er directed a play before but has act ed a few times including a mock tri al of a date rape. “The play came to us through the state of Texas attorney general’s of fice as a suggestion of what other centers have done to celebrate sex ual assault awareness month,” Hostetter said. Heather Mundt, a volunteer at the center and a senior sociology major, said she also supported the idea and has taken on the responsi bility as an internship. “I picked the play because I thought it was a creative way to make the community aware of is sues,” Mundt said. Mundt began volunteering at the center in November 1998, and be gan her internship in January. “I wanted to work with women and help the organization,” she said. “I have gained a lot of experi ence in working in a non-profit help agency and have learned a lot about publicity and working with organi zations around campus and town.” Mundt said she hopes to help provide more awareness and more hope to victims of sexual assault. “There are many survivors in this community who haven’t come out, and it is important to let them know that a woman can get on with her life.” The play consists of three actors and the stage is set with three scenes. One scene takes place in a little girl’s bedroom; this scene is about Linda, who was abused by her father. In an other scene, Mary, a victim of rape by her ex-boyfriend, sits at her kitchen table. The third scene portrays Elizabeth, a victim of a stranger’s attack in her own home, as she sits in a psy chiatrist’s office. Each scene is presented at the same time, and the play moves back and forth between the scenes. The women tell how the inci dents occurred and what is sues they faced as a result. Sarah Black plays Eliza beth and is a volunteer at the rape crisis center. She said she has had experi ence with acting through operas and other musical theater. “I enjoy acting and wanted to get the message across and show people the differ ent reactions one might have and the ways to deal with it.” she said. Black said the play portrays situ ations encountered by victims and their possible reactions. "The goal of the play is to get the message of survival across, and that an act of sexual violence doesn’t have to control and ruin your life," she said. "You can work through it and be a strong person.” Hostetter said she hopes to have at least several hundred people at tend the event. “Anybody, any age, can become a victim,” she said. "We want to bring awareness to the community 1- Fo v i tecu t-<- sign Bid i-c Cole t ■d it pita 1 i i the: n 11 hint t I hosi-i t sign si Geo tv Ron 11 c fess ) !': Ti^ 11 h 1 a feal 1 i 1 V'l.V TERRY ROeE^ 1 jg a Julie Horn, plays Mary.aworra enCe f raped by her ex boyfriend, j t ^ ty Rape Crisis Center play 'One 'If y h t ■ r, jnvBrki: know that the rapetrii/iemo here and has semes tect Ai hotline and support? nation Black said “Onein Dallas only for those whr he iw through those trauma into in also for people to unc hare fii others may be going: f or th( "I think it is a real • p av • i u service announcemer:I jp), "People don’t talkaboe ce i vet sault.
